Propagation
Sow fresh seed during spring in a well-drained media then prick out and pot up when they are large enough to handle.

Take semi-hardwood cuttings taken during late summer and placed on a misting bench.

Note:
Care should be taken when planting as the roots are invasive and can block drains damage foundations or lift pathways. For this reason councils tend not use it as a street tree.
